• Remove the saucepan from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Step 4
• Meanwhile, prepare the pudding as directed on the package with remaining milk. Step 5
• Add the rice mixture to the prepared pudding, stir to combine and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Recipe Tip To give this recipe a springtime touch, prepare it as directed, omitting the cinnamon. Sprinkle each serving with tinted, shredded coconut and pastel-colored, miniature jelly beans. To tint the shredded coconut, simply mix 1/2 tsp of water with a few drops of food coloring. Add the colored water to 1-1/3 cups coconut in a sealable plastic bag. Close the bag and shake the coconut back and forth, until the coconut is evenly tinted.

CREAMY VANILLA RICE PUDDING

• Add milk, 1 and 1/2 cups of the cream, sugar, rice, and vanilla extract to a pot over medium heat.
• Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add remaining 1/2 cup of cream, vanilla bean seeds (or additional teaspoon of vanilla extract), and a pinch of salt.

CREAMY VANILLA RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine milk, rice, sugar, vanilla caviar and pod, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring gently.
• Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover pot and continue to cook, stirring often, until rice is very tender and pudding has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and let pudding cool for 5 minutes; fish out the vanilla bean pod before transferring to a heatproof bowl.
• refrigerate until cold and thick, at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.
• Tip: may add 2 large egg yolks and a sot of dark rum during the last 5 minutes of cooking for a more grownup twist.
• Note: this recipe calls for medium grain white rice (not long- or short-grain rice), which lends the perfect amount of starch, creaminess, and texture to the pudding.
• Cooking time is cooling time.
